JESUS WILL BE WITH YOU!

“When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you.”

Isaiah 43:2 ESV

I have come into deep waters, and the flood sweeps over me

My sin and my pride I confess had made my life a shipwreck

Blot out my transgressions according to your abundant mercy

Save me, O God! For the waters have come up to my neck

I will not be afraid or dismayed, for you, O Lord, are with me

You help me and uphold me by your righteous right hand

Your faithful word of truth calms even the most tumultuous sea

Behold the true Light that beckons me to the promised land

Jesus leads me beside still waters by rivers of unending grace

The lure of the lie and darkness of the deep will not overwhelm me

With the Lord by my side there is no fiery trial that I cannot face

The crucible is for silver, the furnace for gold, Jesus tests the heart lovingly

For there is only One who walks on water and brings us peace

By his blood Christ rescued us from drowning in sin and darkness

His glorious majesty and matchless power command the wind to cease

Find rest in the everlasting embrace of the One who died and arose to save us!

Come now, Lord Jesus!

I have been writing poetry since I was a teenager, but it wasn’t until a few of years ago that my writing became more spiritual and at the same time more prolific. As I shared my poetry with my wife, Hannah, and a few good friends, they encouraged me to place the poems in book form. My first book endeavor was “Because Of Him”, published in 2017. After hearing Sammy Murimi, the director of Share International Inc., speak at our church, I decided that the proceeds from that book would be donated to Share. In 2018, Hannah and I were privileged to go to Turkanaland in Kenya on a mission trip with Share. It was a life-changing experience for us both. Some of the inspiration from that trip is expressed in my second book, “His Cup Pours Out”. I include scripture verses with my poems because most of the poems I have written were inspired by reading God’s Word. I hope that as you visit this blog, you will meditate on the scripture verses and write down your prayers and thoughts for the week. My goal for this project has always been that God would be glorified! Robert M Hinnen
